As title says, please contribute so we make a good selection of appropriate tracks for the F2s.
Also please propose dates, I think it would be better someone make a full proposition, Gorka did that last season, it would be very helpfull if he did it again and then the rest help to sort tracks out.

Heres some suggestions to start the ball rolling
Brianza Full circuit
Spa
Kylami
Soa paulo

Aintree
Nurburgring
Leinz – long race for a finale

I can do it again but it'll take a little time to analyse past races and existing tracks to see what can be competitive for everybody
I'm trying to remember a track we raced with the F3 in the early days of rFactor2 that was quite interesting to drive, but can't. It ended up in a lefthander hairpin, had a peculiar turn 1 braking and a quick long chicane in the middle.
Montecarlo should return as a classic for these cars.

I think the track your looking for is Topeka

That is, you nailed it.
I didn't even remember I had a video on youtube on that track with the F3.
I think this track could be fine for the F2

...and what do you think would be the best to do between Spark, winged Spark and Eve.... ?
Let everyone be free to chose what they feel better for every track to avoid discussions?
RE: Tracks and dates for Season 6 - 60s F2s - 1959nikos - 21-07-2015
I think we should be commited to one car.
Also I think Montecarlo should be in there.

Also guys what do we do with these bad graphics tracks?
As much as I like going around Kyalami and Glen, fact is they are not up to par, they are bad in the eye and have totally unrealistic tarmac full of bumps.
Maybe get rid of them? there are so many wonderfully done tracks around.

Very true , we dont have to stick to historically correct tracks , we race for fun first of all .
As for cars let people be free to choose , but ban the winged spark then there can be no arguments , eve v sparks adds another little competition .

About tracks, yes, better get rid of ugly looking ones. I'm surprised by the good quality of Imola (for example) It really gives you the inmersion needed.

I'm all for this, overall experience lacks a bit on bad tracks.
I think Sears Point (Sonoma) should be in the list. Roller-Coaster track which should be a lot of fun with the F2

Being one of the first track releases in rf2 its still good looking, don't know if it is having issues with newer builds.

I will let you guys figure this out you are the veterans and have tried places I have not. I will be mid pack or worse anywhere so I just like the fun and the racing with you guys so I will be there wherever it is. I do hope there is not the same big layoff as last year and really long races are hard on some of us. I do like Laguna and Sebring tho.

I am a bit surprised Estoril is not mentioned yet. Although not in my list of favorite tracks to drive, speaking about graphics it has very natural, persuading and "real" look in its last version. For me number 1 now if these parameters considered/evaluated. Is it due to its frequent online use? Or have many of you found its layout not so interesting and rhythmic like me?

portugal got a bad name cause people said it had bad fps.

What do you mean Tim? Less races? Shorter races? Or both?
We could have polls for these, please start one if you want this to be discussed.

I always wondered what happened to this, rollercoaster indeed and I liked it

I am just not a fan of the 2 hour races but I will survive.
I did not like the nords 24 hr race dusk n dawn very hard to see with these old eyes
but again that's just me

Im on the same boat, do a poll.
RE: Tracks and dates for Season 6 - 60s F2s - c.pucher - 22-07-2015
well, day/night won't be an issue with the F2s anyway as they don't have headlights
How about 1 hour races? Have to say I enjoy them the most, although two 30 min races are fine.
RE: Tracks and dates for Season 6 - 60s F2s - bullwinkle - 22-07-2015
oh yea good point no lights
RE: Tracks and dates for Season 6 - 60s F2s - bullwinkle - 23-07-2015

This may be off topic for this thread, but I just tried to join the F2 online event and needed to download Road America v. 1.011ms from the server but it didn't work. Is there another source that I missed somewhere? ??? I can never find anything! ;D
Edit: Thanks, nikos. Got it and joined.
